  Interesting read!

  “But nobody throws chairs at Google, unlike management practices used at some other well-known technology companies.”

  So Schmidt takes a swipe at Steve B. I’m placing bets it won’t be long before that swipe is returned. I must admit, I like the way he casually accepts the fact that engineers are just ‘competitive by nature’ and decides to do away with that instead of trying to change them or adjust to working with them. I also took notice of…

  “the role of the manager is that of an aggregator of viewpoints, not the dictator of decisions.”

  The thing is many of us know that because it is(to me) common sense but great sense. Still, how many of us actually follow through?
